Peasant Kitchen in Ruins Italian Cuisine, Robert, Hubert 1733–1808 painter, French painting, genre painting, kitchen interior, 1760–1765, oil painting, 60 × 75 cm, A dim interior scene shows a stone-walled room illuminated by warm firelight and pale daylight from an open doorway; a woman in a dress with a yellow skirt and light-colored apron sits on a wooden barrel near the hearth, holding a small child wrapped in pale cloth, while another child leans toward the hearth where large brown pots and pans sit over glowing embers. A dog with brown and white fur sniffs the floor near scattered kitchenware and a toppled bowl with green leafy vegetables spilling out, and a pale draped cloth hangs across the hearth above a wooden mantel. In the darker right side, a figure peeks through a half-open wooden gate, and a staircase and shelves with pottery recede into shadow; overall the colors include warm browns, ochres, muted yellows, pale creams, deep greens, and soft grays.
